Kim Carnes-"Invisible Hands"

Pat, my commercial 45 for this states (FM Mix) just below the title, and has both a listed and actual time of (3:09). Deadwax is "B-8181-S-45-501218-A-Z4". My promo 45 makes no such "FM Mix" declaration, on either side. Like my stock copy, both promo 45 sides also have a listed and actual side of (3:09). I carefully listened to both 45s, just to make sure they were all the same version. And, despite having the same times, it immediately became very obvious to me that added rhythm guitar overdubs have been generously added, throughout the (FM Mix), that does not appear on either side of my promo 45. In 1983, I was buying every Billboard "Hot 100" new entry during the VERY first week that they entered the chart. For this reason, it is highly unlikely that my stock 45 was a "later, 2nd commercial issue." My promo deadwaxes, despite both sides featuring the same version (no overdubs), have slightly different deadwaxes: "B-8181-S-45-501218-Z-1", with the other side the same, but ending in "Z-3". I do not own her "Cafe Racers" CD, which is the only current CD in the database that you do not describe as featuring a "Dance Mix." Do you own a commercial 45? If you do, does it state (FM Mix)? And if so, does the amount of guitar present on your 45 equate with the "Cafe Racers" CD version, or is it possibly the "no overdubs" version found on my promo 45 instead? Pat, if you'd like me to shoot you out a dub, for any of my various "Invisible Hands" 45 versions, let me know - I'll be glad to assist you in helping to get to the bottom of this case.

Jim, the version on the "Cafe Racers" cd is the FM mix as found on the commercial 45. Now since I do not have the "Cafe Racers" vinyl LP, we need to determine which version appears on the vinyl LP before I make any 45 version designation in the database.

Ed, I have obtained the vinyl LP "Cafe Racers" and it also features the "FM mix" even though it is not stated anywhere on the jacket or vinyl label that this is the "FM mix". So there is no LP vs commercial 45 distinction to be made.

the lp version and the fm mix are identical....just another marketing ploy, i guess.....

Ed, can you check the back of your "Crazy In The Night" cd to see if it states printed and manufactured in Canada? My copy and several others that I have seen in the local used cd stores say that and I am just curious as to whether there is a US pressing of this cd.
